Drinks and Party

The secret capital of Music sleeps only after the night has come to an end. A trip to Glasgow isn’t complete without a visit to the city’s authentic and traditional pubs. The following pubs are known for their pumping music and buzzing cocktails:

The Flying Duck

A basement bar and vegan diner tucked away in Glasgow’s city centre, The Flying Duck is part of Glasgow’s underground music. The venue has vintage furniture, dotted walls and all the vibrant decor a traditional nightclub has. With a dive bar vibe, it has the right price and is a sister venue to other pubs, like The Old Hairdressers, Mono, Stereo and The 78. Between their healthy drink selection, diner-soul food inspired menu, gigs, quizzes, film screenings and drag karaoke, there is a little bit for everybody. It is a fairly-lit, cool, quaint haunt for anyone craving hot tunes or missing home comforts.

The Doublet

The Doublet is a cheery, traditional West End boozer. This old pub remains as loved as ever but does not serve food anymore. The Doublet is a place for everybody who wants to enjoy an amazing night out; it attracts students, suits, tourists and hipsters. In this two-storey pub, the main bar is located on the ground floor. It is very popular for its charmingly cheesy decor and the solid jukebox. Real ales, Continental beers, malt whiskies and lagers are a speciality at The Doublet. The pints are all pretty affordable except for a few rarer ones.

The Belle

A favourite spot with West Enders, The Belle is an endearing, quirky, charming, fun and lively pub that has an unexpectedly great nightlife in Glasgow. This place attracts a mixed clientele from fashionistas, suits, students to tourists. The toasty fire –  along with the mismatched retro tables and chairs, stone walls, and stags’ heads on the wall keeps the place so warm during the cold months and adds to the overall ambience. The tables and chairs are kept outside on the street during the warmer months. The Belle is a cosy place with some great American craft beers and European lagers on tap. If you want to party with the locals, then The Belle is the place to be at.

Go to Glasgow, and party like you have never before!
